Drivers

• Prevalence of Urological Diseases

• Rising Cases of Urinary Incontinence - Rising cases of urinary incontinence are a primary driver of the global incontinence and ostomy care products market, especially as the global population ages and chronic health conditions become more prevalent. Disorders such as neurological diseases, diabetes, and pelvic organ prolapse significantly contribute to bladder control issues in both men and women. This growing patient pool increases the demand for high-quality incontinence products that support daily functioning and improve quality of life.

  With increasing awareness and reduced stigma around urinary incontinence, more individuals are seeking medical advice and adopting specialized care products like adult diapers, pads, and catheter systems.
